Here are the facts:

Here are the facts:
- Prior to her passing in June 2017, Joyce appoints co-host Daniel as her successor.
- The Power Hour carries on faithfully with Daniel at the helm until November 20, 2017 when Daniel announces that “GCN has made the decision to move our show” … “They've decided to move us to 3 to 5 central....” He states several times that “this was not our decision.”
- Meanwhile, GCN quietly posts a confusing press release stating that TPH is moving to an afternoon spot and welcomes a new host, Dr. Joanne Conaway. This press release is later “corrected” saying that “The Power Hour remains in the 7-10am time slot.” It does not mention anything about Daniel & Joyce's Power Hour airing at a new time or even existing for that matter.
- Dec 4, 2017: “The Power Hour” with Dr. Joanne Conaway airs in the time slot previously occupied by the real Power Hour, and she starts the show by saying she is "continuing where Joyce left off".. There is no mention of The real Power Hour until the 3rd hour when the subject was forced by a caller.
- The original Power Hour call in number and archives reside with this new version of The Power Hour and no longer with the rightful successor.
- No attempt has been made by GCN to clarify anything among the confusion. In fact, GCN's program director claims Dr Conaway's show took the name “Because we thought it would be less confusing for everyone.”
- This fake Power Hour show now features introductions by Dave vonKliest, Joyce's ex-husband and ex-cohost. “This is Dave vonKleist and you are listening to The Power Hour” and “you're listening to the all new Power Hour”.
- Our forum member, Eleanor White, spoke with Mr. vonKliest. He accepted her invitation to explain his viewpoint here on this forum, but has yet to post anything.
- Various links to The Power Hour still feature Joyce's image, but nearly all of them have been updated to show Dr Joanne Conaway's name along with Joyce's picture! It does seem that this is an attempt to imply a connection between Joyce and Dr. Conner.
- The real Power Hour, now “Power Hour Nation” in the eyes of GCN, is only available to many of us via the archives or radio replay, both in which the first six minutes of the show have been truncated. In addition to that, the commercials run longer and take up more of the show than they did when the show was in its original time slot.
